PROVAIL held its annual Wyckoff Luncheon & Awards Ceremony, presented by Frontier Bank, at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center on Friday, October 19, 2007.  The event celebrated our 65th Anniversary of supporting people with disabilities to fulfill their life choices.  The Wyckoff event also recognized and awarded organizations and individuals who are doing extraordinary things to support people with disabilities.  The event was named in honor of Dr. Hulett Wyckoff, one of PROVAIL's founders and a lifelong advocates for children with cerebral palsy. Over $20,000 was raised through the Wyckoff Luncheon & Awards Ceremony, which will be used to carry out our mission.

The luncheon featured keynote speaker Susan Schwartzenberg, author of Becoming Citizens, who traced a generation of Seattle parents that went against conventional medical wisdom and chose to bring up their children with developmental disabilities in the community.  Over 125 friends, supporters, corporate and community leaders attended the event.
